About Us

Gem Charters was born from the idea of offering an experience beyond the basics of nautical tourism. The Gem team started with three friends who shared the vision of providing private tours with the highest quality standards and facilitating access to the best beaches in Panama for both tourists and locals.

Since 2012, Panama Gem Charters has become the #1 company and reference point for yacht rentals in Panama. We offer private yacht charters to various destinations in the Pacific of Panama, including Panama Bay, Taboga Island, and the Pearl Archipelago, as well as custom tours to exclusive destinations upon request.

At GEM Charters, we work hard to polish our team and make it as perfect as the brightest gem. We aim to dazzle you with exceptional service and make you want to return time and again.

The GEM fleet consists of all types of yachts, sailboats, and fishing boats for a variety of adventures. We want to provide the flexibility for family outings, business meetings, leisure trips, fishing with friends, romantic excursions, or whatever you can imagine, but always in the most comfortable and enjoyable way.

We offer you the freedom to take sunset tours in Panama Bay; visit Taboga Island (known as the Fishermen's Island); explore the beauties of the Pearl Archipelago, including islands like Contadora, Saboga, Bolaños, Chapera, Mogo Mogo, and much more.
